[Surgical treatment of the aortic arch dissection--a report of two cases operated by partial brachiocephalic perfusion, and open aortic anastomosis].

Abstract
Two patients underwent aortic arch replacement for the dissecting aneurysm of the aorta using a simplified cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technique with partial brachiocephalic perfusion, moderate systemic cooling (22 degrees to 23 degrees C), and open aortic anastomosis were reported. The partial brachiocephalic perfusion was accomplished by perfusion to the right axillary artery using separate pump. Open distal anastomosis was performed under low flow hypothermic perfusion of the lower body during selective perfusion to the brain. Cardiopulmonary bypass and partial brachiocephalic perfusion time were 170 minutes, and 30 minutes in one case, and 207 minutes, 56 minutes in the other case. Both patients survived operations, and there were no postoperative strokes, and neurological complications. On the basis of these results, we discussed about supportive methods for aortic arch surgery.
